We are alive

*no pictures, I can't figure out how to get them off my phone, ooops*






Carter..... will be 7 on June 22nd and is reading and telling time and doing great at math and spelling. He loves school. He is so smart! He will be in 2nd grade in the fall. Everywhere we go he's constantly tell us what the signs say. We got him a watch yesterday. He LOVES being able to look at his watch and know what time things happen. It comes in handy when he is outside playing so he knows what time to come home. That kid will play all day long with his friends and even when it starts to get dark he will still keep playing with no idea that he should come home! He is loving life. he is so good with his brothers.

Mason..... will be 5 on Aug 11th and is still my little snuggle bug. He is so sweet. Hugs and kisses me all day and tell me he loves me. He is my reward for being alive! I know my other kids love me and I love them but Mason is just so lovey! I love it! He will be in kindergarten in the fall. We got him all signed up. We still have to take him to get his shots. We are not looking forward to that. Mason has a great imagination. He is Carters biggest fan. He loves to go with Carter to play with his friends. He's growing up way to fast. He loves Imaginex toys. He has almost all of them. Yesterday we went to Wal-Mart so he could spend his money he has earned. We let him buy a toy that was way more than what he had with him. It was cute though to see him get so excited to spend his money. Mason loves to practice his flash cards. He is excited to go to school with Carter. Mason LOVES watching movies.

Seth is a good good baby. Well I guess he's not really a baby anymore. He'll be TWO on July first. He LOVES his brothers and his new puppy! Seth loves his Dad more than anyone else. If Bryan and I are both home he usually chooses Bryan. Which is fine with me. Give me time to get things done or just relax! Seth is saying a few words. His new favorite is puppy. He says that about 1,000 times a day. He also loves to yell Caaarrter! It's so cute! He LOVES Carter! Seth is a very independent guy. He will not sit in his high chair. he wants to be in a chair at the table. It's cute but MESSY! He loves to help me pick up toys and he still loves a nap! Friday night I took him to the mall. Our stroller broke awhile back and we just pull him in the wagon if we are going on a walk or to the park but I didn't want to pull the wagon around the mall. So I took him and he held my hand the whole time and was so good! it was so fun to be able to spend time with just him.

Ty..... is our new doggy! I have been waning a dog for along time. We tried it a couple times before but a puppy just didn't fit in our family at the time. So this time I found a dog on KSL who was small, older, potty trained and FREE! He's a full Maltese and his owners are moving to Argentina and needed to find him a home. I drove to Kaysville to meet him and pick him up. He's a good dog. He doesn't shed and he's all trained. PERFECT way to get a pet! He has adjusted perfectly into our family. He's loves the kids. He's fun!

Me.... is still working at Qwest Communications. I really like being able to leave the home and work. Since Bryan and I have opposite days off is works out great. We do have a nanny on Mondays. She is the best! We love her and have become family. She comes and hangs out with us and is right at home. I love it! We hang out and we have a lot of fun together. My job is good but it can sure ware on you. Getting yelled all about a bill problem that is not at the fault of Qwest and aving to explain why their bill went up 2 cents can be quite frustrating. But the pay and benefits out way the bad. So hopefully I'll be there for along time still. I've been back to work for a year and one month. I love the people I work with. We are all so different but it's fun! I'm planting a garden this year. I've got all my plants inside my house. Started from seeds in dixie cups. It's fun to watch them grow but I'm looking forward to the weather warming up so they can go to there home outside!
